Inspiration to All
Ken,
You deserve this recognition. You are the reason I came out to Cal Games to be the MC. You are an inspiration to me, and more importantly, the whole FIRST community. Congratulations, Your Friend, Paul |

Re: UFH: Ken Leung
Congratulations, Ken! It was great to finally meet you this summer at IRI, as I've always admired and respected you. I'm glad to finally see you honored as a UFH; you've always deserved it in my mind.

Re: UFH: Ken Leung
Yay Ken! You are the hardest working FIRSTer I know. You've done so much for Cal Games, for workshops, for the WRRF in general, mentoring other teams, etc., etc., etc... Good job and well deserved.

I am honored being in this wonderful community with the rest of you. Without the people in FIRST, I never would've stayed so long or care so much about something in my life. You are the best! Now "enjoy" the 6 week build period. I look forward to all the competition this spring! I can't wait to score the matches and see the exciting robot action with this game! |

Re: UFH: Ken Leung
Ken Leung is amazing.
He excels in a community where he might otherwise be considered an "outsider". Imagine leaving your home, travelling 1/2 way around the world, learning a new language, and becoming a leader within 5 years. Of course, we all know that Ken runs the Cal Games, mentors many teams in No.Cal., and is a great help to many people in the FIRST community. You guys may not know this story: The a very important role in running a FIRST competition is having a competent scorer. Everyone involved depends on this person; the referees, the teams, the announcers, the field managers... everyone. This past year, at IRI, Nate Smith could not make it down from Michigan. So, Ken rode in on his white horse from San Jose and saved the day. He worked two 14-hour days to help make IRI work. He had everyone nagging at him for things ("Ken, we need a finals match printout!", "Ken, the scoring box does not work!") and many people trying to help him out. He made things work and the IRI came off smoothly. Ken is a good friend. He is dependable, honest and sincere. He is a great asset to FIRST. Keep it up, Ken! Andy B. |

Re: UFH: Ken Leung
When I saw the new UFH this morning, the first thing that came to mind was, "DUH!!!" Ken is perfect for this.
I remember the first time I met Ken, which is a memory I would rather forget in many ways. We just came off the field from winning our division at nationals and our robot was a mess. We had 1 hour to get it back to the pits, fix it, test it, and get it back to the stage. I was rushing our robot back to the pits to help explain the problems to the pit crew when Ken walks up and introduces himself. Needless to say that I was preoccupied with getting the robot fixed and I'm afraid that I didn't really give Ken the time and attention that he deserved. We introduced ourselves and exchanged pleasantries and all of that, but the conversation didn't progress much farther beyond that. I felt pretty bad about that afterward. Thankfully, I got to sit down in a casual setting (the Omni Lounge) at last year's IRI and talk with Ken at length. He is a very smart guy, and his passion for FIRST is really unmatched by anyone I've met. He is definitely a benefit to the FIRST community. Congratulations, Ken. You deserve it. Drop me a line if you're ever near Detroit. -Chris |

Re: UFH: Ken Leung
Well, I never nominated Ken because I figured it was only a matter of time before he is the next Woodie Flowers award winner.
Anyway, Ken your impact extends not only to the people that you help up in the Bay Area. Everyone on the west coast respects you tremendously. But not only that, you impact people from everywhere, by being a scorekeeper, or going to IRI, or to kickoff, or just you incredibly insightful posts on chiefdelphi. PS...If I keep saying nice things about you, are you going to tell me your robot design for this year? |
